YOUTH CHOIR MISSION PROJECT

The Youth Choir is undertaking another mission project for
CUMAC. We are asking for the congregation's support in collecting
hygiene items for families that CUMAC serves.
Items needed are: shampoo, soap, deodorant for men and women,
toothpaste, (2) toothbrushes, and lotion.
CUMAC reports that there are some families that struggle just to
keep soap in their home. The Youth Choir will assemble bags of the
hygiene items for individual families. The gift of a completed bag
(comprised of the listed above items) would be most appreciated. A
box for donated items is in the narthex. Please help us reach out to
our neighbors in need.
